Cholera
• Cholera is an infection of the small intestine that is caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The main symptoms are profuse watery diarrhea and vomiting. Transmission occurs primarily by drinking or eating water or food that has been contaminated by the diarrhea of an infected person or the feces of an infected. The severity of the diarrhea and vomiting can lead to rapid dehydration and electrolyte imbalance and death in some cases.
• Worldwide it affects 3–5 million people and causes 100,000–130,000 deaths a year as of 2010[update]

The corruption of political machines
• When loyalty of voters was not enough they turned to fraud.– Creating fake names
• Grafting-illegal use of political influence for personal gain.– Gambling, construction contracts, accepted bribes – Boss Tweed: built a courthouse for 13$ million
